After Chu Qingxiao and Sun Li separated, they walked alone on the road to Qinghuan Mansion.
Sun Li's request for the Five Hundred Spirits Iron Jade was completely in vain.
Although Sun Li intended to take out his savings after hearing that Chu Qingxiao continued to use money, Chu Qingxiao felt that he had not done it well, so he was unwilling to collect his money - Chu Qingxiao had already inquired about it, like For an inner disciple like Sun Li, after he retires, Tianxuan Mountain will only give him thirty or forty pieces of spiritual iron jade every month, which is only seven or eight taels when converted into silver money.
In other areas, this is indeed a huge amount of income, but in a place like Tianxuan City, it is just enough to live on for one person.
Sun Li's promise of five hundred pieces of spiritual iron jade was probably his past savings. He had no children, so Chu Qingxiao couldn't bear to take money from him.
I don’t know the details of Tsukimi’s commission, but according to her, if it is completed, there will be a lot of income.
Meng Jin's commission was also abandoned because of Zhu Renzhao's death.
Now the only one he can count on is Meng Ziliang, but his method of earning spiritual iron jade by teaching people to practice swordsmanship always feels unreliable to Chu Qingxiao. Although he is full of confidence in this, Chu Qingxiao is afraid that one day , the other party realized later and realized that Meng Ziliang was a liar with no real talent and learning, and when the time came, he would have to spit back the spiritual iron jade intact.
Therefore, after much thought, Chu Qingxiao still felt that he had to go to Qinghuan Mansion to see if there were any suitable tasks and commissions.
Chu Qingxiao thought like this. When he was walking through a main street, he suddenly felt something. He frowned slightly. He quickly looked around, found an uninhabited alley and went in. The next moment, when he walked again When he came out, there was already a woman with a full figure next to him, but her face was covered with a white gauze.
"Qingxiao, you were too useless yesterday!"
"I have already helped you put Zhaozhao on the bed, how could you let her run away?" Sanniang muttered with dissatisfaction as they walked side by side on the street.
Chu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, and replied with a slightly red face: "Sanniang, you have the nerve to say that! Why are you teasing Zhaozhao if it's okay? She is already thin-skinned, and she is still angry with me early this morning!"
"Angry with you?" Sanniang blinked and approached Chu Qingxiao with a teasing expression: "But Qingxiao, have you ever thought about why she is angry?"
"Why are you angry?" Chu Qingxiao was stunned and said subconsciously: "Isn't it because Sanniang you deceived Zhaozhao..."
"But I lied to her, why should she be angry with you?" The smile on Sanniang's face became even wider.
Chu Qingxiao was stunned again: "Yes, I didn't do anything, why should she be angry?"
"Maybe she's angry because you didn't do anything?" Sanniang said with narrowed eyes.
Chu Qingxiao chewed Sanniang's words carefully, and his face suddenly turned red.
However, Sanniang seemed to like seeing Chu Qingxiao's appearance. She stepped aside with a coquettish smile, picked up the cheap jewelry sold on the street, put it on her hand, and began to use it.
Chu Qingxiao was a little helpless. He vaguely felt that since the last death, Sanniang's personality seemed to be much more cheerful than before. Although this made Chu Qingxiao a little unable to resist, it should be a good thing for Sanniang. A good thing.
"By the way, yesterday I tried to absorb spiritual power in the divine pillar. The process went extremely smoothly. It not only met my own cultivation needs, but also seemed to be able to give you some feedback. If this continues, I should not need it anymore. I have absorbed your spiritual power." Sanniang looked back and forth on the street for a long time. After the fresh energy of coming to this bustling street that she had never seen before passed, she came to Chu Qingxiao's side again and said this.
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he remembered that when he got up today and looked inside the Ling Mansion, he felt that in the Ling Mansion, which had not made any progress for decades, the spiritual power seemed to be a little fuller than before. Chu Qingxiao thought it was his illusion at first, but at this moment I understand that this is due to Sanniang’s efforts.
This is indeed great news for Chu Qingxiao.
"In this case, half of the spiritual energy I absorb can be put into the Ling Mansion." Chu Qingxiao said.
"Yes." Sanniang also nodded, and added: "Not only that,"
"Yesterday was probably the first time I tried to swallow spiritual energy. I was still a little unskilled in some places, so the efficiency was not that significant. If I can learn some good techniques for swallowing spiritual energy over time, the efficiency may still be high. It will improve a lot faster, and when the time comes, a large amount of it can even be fed back into your body."
"If this is really feasible, Qingxiao, you have to quickly find the candidate for your third divine pillar. This will make your cultivation speed go up several steps."
Chu Qingxiao showed a wry smile: "The reason why I was able to resurrect my sister was that I happened to get the complete marrow of that outer god. Normally, this thing is not so easy to find. And without the marrow, to become the master of the divine pillar, you have to need him himself To have a powerful enough divinity is not something that cats and dogs on the street can just get if they want it."
"That's the same truth." Sanniang sighed, a little distressed by this.
While talking, the two of them also arrived in front of Qinghuan Mansion.
Chu Qingxiao was about to lead Sanniang into it, but at this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing in front of the crowded crowd in Qinghuan Mansion.
It was Meng Jin.
At this moment, she was looking around anxiously, as if looking for something.
"Miss Mengjin!" Chu Qingxiao waved to her.
When Meng Jin saw Chu Qingxiao, he was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he walked quickly towards Chu Qingxiao, looking quite anxious.
"What's wrong?" He asked immediately when he saw her walking towards him.
Meng Jin grabbed Chu Qingxiao's hand and said, "Follow me quickly, that bastard Zhu Quan is going to make trouble in the Sword Hall!"
…
When Chu Qingxiao was pulled by Meng Jin and rushed to the door of Zhijian Tang Mansion.
The front gate of the mansion was already filled with people watching.
Zhu Quan stood in front of the crowd with a calm expression.
Behind him stood seven or eight companions who came with him, and they seemed to be about the same age as him.
"What are they doing?" Seeing this scene, Chu Qingxiao was also a little dazed. He looked at Meng Jin beside him and asked.
Meng Jin was about to explain when he heard Zhu Quan say loudly towards the door of the house: "I am Zhu Quan, a resident of Shanshuigou. More than a year ago, together with seven companions behind me, I murdered Ma Yingying's son on a rainy night. , Lu Huan."
"Please ask the sword hall to review this case!"
The people around him were talking a lot at this time.
After Chu Qingxiao killed Lu Haocun that day, he asked the four disciples to tell the story of Lu Huan's murder of Zhu Quan's mother, and the fact that Zhu Renzhao was beaten, imprisoned, and coerced by Lu Haocun when he redressed his injustice. He told everyone in front of everyone, and at the same time, the disciples of the sword-wielding hall were asked to record them one by one and compile them into a file.
Therefore, the residents of Tianxuan City also knew what was going on, and naturally no one would hold grievances against Lu Huan.
But what they couldn't understand was that even if it was Zhu Quan and others who really killed Lu Huan, it was reasonable to avenge his mother. No one would think that Zhu Quan did anything wrong, so why did he have to do it? Why don't you come and tell the truth yourself?
Chu Qingxiao didn't understand what kind of medicine Zhu Quan bought in his gourd, but in his opinion, although Zhu Quan had some childish words and ideas, they were far from stupid, so he endured it and sat quietly in the distance. Watching quietly.
At this moment, the door of the sword-wielding hall was slowly opened, and a man came out with dozens of disciples.
The leading man was thin and in his early thirties. Chu Qingxiao looked familiar. He seemed to be the guy he had threatened with a sword that day in Shanshuigou. Later, someone said his name was Zheng Xianglai.
He seemed to have something important to do. He glanced at Zhu Quan who was kneeling on the ground and said with a somewhat impatient expression: "Didn't Shou Lu already finalize this matter?"
"Lu Huan harmed your mother. Ma Yingjie deliberately protected her, leaving you with no way to redress your grievances. You killed him. This is a matter of course. What else do you want?"
Ma Yingjie's case has caused quite a stir in Tianxuan City. From yesterday to today, most people in the city have been discussing this matter, and public resentment is boiling. After taking over the sword-wielding hall, the first order under Tianxuan Mountain is to stabilize the people's hearts. , Although Prime Minister Zheng was quite dissatisfied with this young man who had hindered him in Shanshuigou, he did not dare to retaliate in front of so many outer sect and handyman disciples.
"Do you mean to say that we are not guilty?" But Zhu Quan, who was kneeling on the ground, had no intention of getting up and asked instead.
"Not guilty, not guilty." Zheng Xiang waved his hand, and after saying this, he left with a large number of disciples who seemed to have pretty good cultivation. They looked in a hurry, as if they were anxious to go somewhere. .
"But this is wrong!" Zhu Quan said at this time.
"Huh?" Zheng Xiang was stunned, and his eyes suddenly turned weird when he looked at Zhu Quan, "What do you mean? You want to blackmail Zhi Jian Tang?"
"My lord, you have misunderstood!" Zhu Quan said without changing his expression.
"Although Tianxuan City is a fiefdom awarded to Tianxuan Mountain by the imperial court, everything must still be done according to Dayu's laws!"
"According to the laws of Dayu, Lu Huan should pay with his life for killing my mother. However, because Ma Yingjie deliberately protected her, the punishment did not fall on Lu Huan. This is certainly the fault of Ma Yingxi and his son."
"But as a citizen of Dayu, I should not kill Lu Huan by lynching."
"You're not done yet, are you?" Zheng Xiang suddenly became a little angry. He stood still and looked sideways at Zhu Quan, "Then tell me, what do you want?"
"Indiscriminate lynching and killing others should be executed according to Dayu law!" Zhu Quan said at this time.
He continued to speak calmly, and continued with a calm face: "But at the same time, my abuse of lynching was caused by Ma Yingxi and his son shielding each other and using their power to suppress others. At the same time, the people killed by Ma Yingxi and his son were my blood parents, so according to the law The law needs to be dealt with lightly.”
“The two are superimposed, according to the law.”
"Zhu Quan shall receive twenty sticks from the court and his family property shall be confiscated at the same time!"
